    Good adjustments.

    AR starting out on Curry. Taking away the P&R with Dray cause Vando was on him and switched onto Curry on those plays. We took away Curry the facilitator. Only 3 assists tonight.

    Going to LW4 instead of a stagnant Brown. Gave effort and energy on both sides of the floor.

    The 3 guard lineup was a good call and Walker didn't look like a hot mess like Brown and Beasley so credit to Ham

    You know what-- not bad at all. Some ballsy adjustments there. Lonnie was good.

    Trusted his instincts, gave Lonnie a shot and stuck with him as he shook the rust off. Looked like the Warriors were going to pull away in the second but he rallied the troops and we got a blowout win. Good night for Ham.

    :D

    He’s been good, have to hope he continues to grow, I’d love nothing more than to send these Warriors home and likely end this dynasty for good

    In fairness, Pat Bev and Nunn should also be included here.

    I think the leash on Vando to start the 1st and 3rd Q may have to be shorter in Game 4 if we struggle to score .

    So glad that he gave Lonnie early burn. Mixing it up when guys like Brown aren’t giving you anything shows me again that he’s learning!

    Lonnie and DS more minutes to compensate.

    Vando as good on D and the switch wig Reaves on Steph and Vando on Draymond blew up the PnR. But man his offense is rough he can't shoot the 3 and can't finish over the top when cutting to the rim: combo

    Vando on that short time against Klay threw him off his game finally.

    Do they bring in Moody then and go small?
    If they go with Looney Lakers will be ecstatic

    Jarred is playing his role, and he's been great at it. The few jumpers he takes are non issues. The Warriors aren't going to beat us because they tricked Vanderbilt into taking 20 shots or something.

    I worry about Ham less after he has made some good adjustments. I also like that his confidence in himself has never waivered. One of my favorite things about our team right now is the level of defense we are playing without committing too many over aggressive fouls. Overall we have a high basketball IQ team. It shows not only in our defense but how quick we built chemistry. Spring has finally hit in AK and it smells like championship to me.
